I have never heard of supportkeywordsite until I saw it on my credit card statement. And the contact number listed on the statement 877-616-9328 for supportkeywordsite has been disconnected. Therefore there is no way to get in touch with the company to query and cancel the account. Why would a company, supposedly legitimate, list such a number if not to scam innocent people? I have never done any business with this company and don't know how it came by my information.
In July I had purchased an Easy Google Profit Kit for $0.99 which I never received and had cancelled after four days. The information on the bill was to cancel before five days. When the kit which was supposed to be emailed to me did not show up in my email box by the fourth day, I called the company from an 800 number I found in the privacy policy and a female rep took my call and cancelled the order. That was it, until the supportkeywordsite appeared on my card charged twice for $72.21 (TWICE) on July 15 and 16th, for a.com domain, which I never bought. I do not need a website I have several blogs to my name. Also there is a charge of $38.42 for web access and $24.95 for Grant. I have no idea what these things are, but they all stemmed from that Google Kit purchase which was subsequently cancelled, or so I thought. A total of $207.79 charged to my credit card for items I never bought. The credit card company said it could not cancel the account because it was something purchased online. Now there is no way to contact any one of these companies because they have no working telephone numbers. And when I access the bill online and click on the privacy notice and the terms and conditions to get the telephone number, I get a page not found error. Talk about cleaning up their act. When searched online the company.com takes you to a page of advertisements, no way to contact them whatsoever. A further Google search revealed other sites for login, about us, contact us... Guess what, none of the pages can be displayed.
As a result of the scam I had to cancel the card and now the company is insisting I pay the amount owed or it goes on my credit report. How do you like that for being scammed?
I hope people are warned nnot to click on these misleading advertisments. They pop up on the sides of major news pages and legitimate websites and when you click on the link they steal your information. They don't honour cancellations and raid your credit card under the pretext that you made the purchase.
Google's good name is at risk here, and it is time the company took steps against scammers like this one that offer packages in the name of Google to unsuspecting citizens. Take action Google and save us from these good for nothing scammers who prey on hard working citizens and refuse to work for the money in their pockets.
It is also time that the Government take a look at these scams to purchase Google adword kits and adsense advertisements that are nothing more than disguised scams.
